Eaton's New Hitting Partner
(Preview)
Anyone see on BBC that Chris Eaton has found a new hitting partner in.........Roger Federer! Unbelievable really to think of this less than a month ago that Eaton would be warming up with the world number 1. Just shows his meteoric rise to public knowledge. This can only be a good thing for Chris

Week 27 - Futures F25 (15k) - Alicante, Spain

The Wardinator was the 2nd alternate for the main draw on the last update and everyone in qualifying is ranked below him, so I reckon both SE places got freed up and he scraped a DA.

A few pics from Wimby day 3

Here are just a few pics and comments from the four main matches I saw on Wednesday before it got too dark to think about taking any more photos, since if I don't do anything with them now, I probably never will.
